Bushwacker Flares

Anyone know a good place to purchase BW Flares?
All the places I've found have been $450-475 for a set of 4 flares plus shipping of $25-30. And this is for unpainted flares. It's another $250-300 for painting them the color of the truck.

Thanks!

you can paint them yourself, but they are pretty expensive to purchase

I ordered some pocket flares from a place on ebay, they were around $370 shipped. They should be here on Tuesday. My brother does a lot of painting so he is going to paint mine, but if I didnt have that option i would paint them myself. Do a search for How to paint fender flares or here. Shane did a step by step post on how to paint them. Just go to a paint store and have them make up a spray can with the your paint code color of paint.

I don't know which ones you are looking for, but truckaddons seems to have some sort of a discount going on, street scene flares can be had for about 282 shipped. Try checking them out.

I got some for the mega and to be honest I was very disappointed with the quality. They are just flimsy plastic pieces that don't fit very well. Just my 2 cents.

I put the extend a fender flares on mine. They fit wonderful. At first I thought they fit poor but soon realized I had the wrong side. Glad I noticed before actually mounting them. I cannot remember where I purchased mine. I think it may have been JC Whitney... I left mine black as it looks good with black mirrors and black cover on the bed.

Were these the Bushwackers? If so, what style were they? Do you know if all the styles are the same "quality"?

I got my Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares for $400 and had them painted for another $100. I'd keep searching for prices if you were quoted that much to have them painted.

They were bushwacker pocket flares....very disappointing. They look good from far off. But up close they look very poor.

just to clarify, the style I have on the way for 240 bux shipped.. pockets style, non cutout, giving a bit over 2 inches of extension. not painted, but looking at the rest of the prices in this thread, makes this one a no brainer.
